Global Edmonton anchor Gord Steinke is announcing his retirement after 30 years of bringing the news to Edmontonians. His last day with Global Edmonton will be in August.
After 30 incredible years bringing the news to Edmontonians, Global News anchor Gord Steinke has announced his retirement.
Steinke has been a mainstay in Alberta’s capital city for three decades, delivering the news on Global News Hour at 6 and Global News at 5.
He began his journalism career at the CBC, before moving to Minneapolis to work for an ABC affiliate. He started with ITV (now Global Edmonton) in 1992.
Steinke announced his retirement on Wednesday.
“It wasn’t an easy decision to leave such a great team at Global Edmonton,” Steinke said. “After 30 years at the anchor desk, time has flown by. I have a lot of adventures on my bucket list that I am excited to explore and feel I better get moving while I can still get on my motorcycle.
“Gord has been a leader in the newsroom and in the community for over three decades,” Global Edmonton news director and station manager Jim Haskins said. “He has seen it all and reported on it. We will greatly miss having Gord’s steady hand guiding us in the newsroom, but we wish him the best in his well-deserved retirement.”
Not only is Steinke an award-winning journalist, he is a bestselling author and a singer-songwriter. Long before he became a household name to news consumers in Edmonton, Steinke was a touring base player with various bands in the 1970s.
